Hyundai was selling EVs in Australia years before most rivals, and it shows in the breadth: Kona Electric for the mainstream, Ioniq 5 and 6 on the acclaimed 800V E-GMP platform.
The Ioniq 5 remains the comfort benchmark — lounge-like interior, 350kW-class charging, and V2L. Kona Electric is the sensible-shoes pick with a big dealer network behind it.

Frequently asked questions
Yes — the E-GMP platform has proven robust, with the main AU complaints being 12V battery quirks (common to most EVs) and early ICCU faults now addressed by recall/software fixes.
Atto 3 is cheaper; Kona counters with a bigger dealer network, better ride and stronger residual values. Both charge slower than Chinese rivals on DC — fine for home chargers, relevant for road-trippers.
